Just watched the game back on U Tube and the score looked about right.Slack attempt tackle by Webb for Barrows first try but he more than makes up for it with his performances overall.Reynolds,Addy,Aekins,King V, and Jubb were the stand outs for me.Barrow did not lay on after the tackle like most teams.They got up rather quickly and back into the defensive line.Moran was ok again he certainly tries hard.Hampshire did his usual kick straight into touch again but then followed up with a nice chip over the defence for Reynolds to score.Unusual for Josh to put in a short kick for his winger but it was spot on.

England win the bronze medal with a convincing display against France 149-84 Well deserved they led all the game and France never really got close enough to put pressure on.Two days at home then daughter in law is off to Las Vegas Rollercon a festival of all aspects on roller skating.Then in November she is off to Argentina coaching.And back to Rugby for me.

Semi Final results USA 226 France 63 Australia 133 England 117 .so the top two teams make the final same as 2018.England were just behind at half time 63-62 but in the first period after half time Australia built up a lead although England finished strongly with 15 late points they never looked like pegging the Aussies back.It will be a play off with France for the Bronze medal.England have shown vast improvement for a newly put together team,most only playing together since early February.In 2018 Australia beat England 222-106 in the semi and England lost for bronze against Canada.

Just in semis are USA V France and Australia v England.8 am our time but our young un paid £30 to stream the games and only gets a circle going round on the tv.But he gets a small picture on his smart phone.A bit like us up at Barrow.

Results so far for England = England 324 Mexico 50 /England 236 Belgium 26 /England 241 Italy 37 /England 142 Argentina 80 so the defence under my daughter in law is performing well.Argentina gave them a tough game and they were an unknown quality.Improving greatly since the last World Cup in 2018 before Covid.So the semi finalists are USA England Australia and France.I don't know the match ups yet but the other three will want to dodge USA who have won all the previous World Cups. Our young un has been a Liverpool supporter for 36 years and i went to Anfield today to pay respects to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva after that tragic accident.Diago always played the right way finding space and like the best players being in the right place at the right time to snatch a goal.A remarkable fact is Liverpool never lost when Diago scored.They both will be sadly missed.R.I.P.

Great awareness by Hanley looking inside,And Ipape backing up like all good hookers and half backs should.

Yes that's what i make it but don'r know how recent.I checked on the Hull KR website but couldn't find anything.

As TPH suggests Ruan plays in the second row and is 23 years old.He played for Donny in 2022 so he would only be 20 then which is young for a forward.And scored 6 tries in 21 games so he clearly knows where the try line is.

I agree i said Fev by 10 at Barrow not so confident on Sunday.They gave Hunslet a right thrashing after we struggled against them.And an excellent win at home to Bradford last week,so it may be a close game.

Coolie has gone rather quiet.How are Dewsbury doing ?.

Moran has been ok when on the field he has had a go.

I digress from yesterdays game to say Daughter in Law flies out to Innsbruck Tues with the England woman's roller derby team.She is captain of the defence team and her friend who lives in Colorado USA is captain of the offence.She qualifies as her mother was born in England and was not picked in the very strong USA team.Daughter in Law's sponsor sent over some new skates $1300.Old ones were held together with gaffer tape.

Results on the field every time but we are not in that situation now.I would have the top three in the Championship promoted but if Bradford are one of them they must play out of another stadium in Bradford or relinquish their place.Who do you support i suppose one of the locked in SL teams.

Something all rugby league is falling down on.Not much incentive for away supporters often charging higher walk up prices.I know KR are usually full house but other SL teams should charge away supporters £15 and in the Championship £10.But clubs would rather play in half or less empty stadiums.

I don't mind who is promoted Toulouse ,York ,London even Bradford but not if they are playing out of Odsal.It has had it's day .SL certainly needs freshening up a couple of new teams might do that.Although i would replace Salford and add another two .three in total and do away with the stupid loop fixtures.
